https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-azure-data-lake-storage: "A data factory can be associated with a managed identity for Azure resources, which represents this specific data factory. You can directly use this managed identity for Data Lake Storage Gen2 authentication, similar to using your own service principal. It allows this designated factory to access and copy data to or from your Data Lake Storage Gen2." B is correct
